Description

Pelargonium Victor is a recent variety that is very compact and vigorous. Its strong stems bear large heads of intense scarlet-red flowers on bright green foliage marbled with dark green. Flowering from spring to autumn, it forms small rounded bushes. It is perfect for small gardens, hanging baskets, and planters.

 

Zonal geraniums include perennial hybrids from the geranium family, in a vast group called Pelargonium x hortorum. Most of them are derived from P. inquinans, native to the southeastern tip of Africa, with contributions from P. zonale and P. frutetorum. The Victor geranium forms a bushy clump with a fairly compact habit and a medium growth rate, reaching a minimum size of 35cm (14in) in all directions. It blooms from spring to autumn, displaying large heads of medium-sized incandescent red flowers with wide petals. They contrast well and their colour perfectly complements the bright green foliage, with each leaf marbled with dark green. Its strong and succulent stems carry circular, undulate leaves with dentate edges and a thick texture. The foliage is very healthy.

 

Once reserved for balconies and patios, zonal geraniums are now making a noticeable entrance in sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them en masse to create a lasting and cheerful decoration throughout the summer season. These plants tolerate drought quite well, meaning they can be combined with garden verbenas, blue lobelias, and black or purple-foliaged ipomoeas (Ipomoea Illusion Midnight Lace, Ipomoea Sweet Heart 'Purple'). Create beautiful pots and hanging baskets by pairing them with bright pink or red varieties, Million Bells, variegated periwinkles, Dichondra 'Silver Falls', violets, bacopas, and calibrachoas.

 

Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, repot and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting them outdoors, once the risk of frost has definitely passed.

Planting and care

Zonal geraniums thrive in fertile, well-drained, neutral to alkaline, well-loosened soils. They prefer full sun. Geraniums are hungry plants that require regular applications of fertiliser to give their best.

You can plant pelargoniums as early as March-April in mild climate regions, but they will need to be brought indoors in case of frost. To avoid any danger, wait until the risk of frost has passed before placing them outside. When planting in pots or containers, use special geranium compost.

In the garden, wait until the end of April, or even mid-May, to plant them in the ground. Add a special geranium growing support to your soil.
